I’m going to take his “Question everything!” advice to heart, and start with him.
That’s fine. You got red-pilled (if you ever needed it) in a different and probably less painful fashion than General Flynn did.
People undergo this metamorphosis in different ways.
One of the most rock-solid, staunch conservatives out there, was as far left as 99% of the American public could have ever gone in 1969, was David Horowitz. He was an administrator/legal counsel for the Black Panthers.
He got red-pilled in one of the most horrible ways, by having a co-worker raped and murdered by the Black Panthers because “she knew too much”.
And he knew in his heart that they had done it, though they never admitted it to him. They raped her and then murdered her to make it look like a violent rape, and not an assassination of a colleague.
That was the fissure that widened into a chasm for him, and it took him the better part of ten years to make that journey from the farthest Left to the farthest right, but in the end, he made it when he voted for the first time in his life for a Republican, Ronald Reagan.
I respect David Horowitz, don’t question his motives, and would shake his hand if I ever had the chance. And David Horowitz is no moron.
Same with General Flynn. He was a military man first, an American second, a Christian third, and somewhere down the line, he was a Democrat.
He was persecuted and destroyed by an ideological Deep State because he was a threat to them and they knew it. He was targeted because he spoke out publicly against Obama’s Iran Nuclear Deal.
You or I could easily be targeted in just that same fashion.
I suggest we take our allies where we can find them.
In the case of General Flynn, if you want to throw out the “baby” of his current understanding of intelligence and the nature of the Deep State because of the “bath water” of his being a Democrat in the past, I cannot do anything about that except to disagree with you, as I view it as a cutting of the nose to spite a face.
But that is my opinion. You are welcome to yours.
